They're a bit like Donovan's Universal Soldier; the old reliables. Often at an age when their contemporaries are cutting back on the training, coaching the minors, bringing the missus to Bingo, they're out there, with the youngsters, training, fielding, sprinting up the dunes, giving the encouragemant, organising, validating the nervous new captain, inspiring the squad, and often for not much more than an admonition to move on and leave space for the emergents.
Till the big day in summer. When they rise, run, hustle and power their way through the game, bringing all their know-how, spirit and belief into the fray, when they motivate, bully and cajole their colleagues to the level of performance they never knew existed.
And then , with some luck, we may have the wit to see it. And with any good fortune, the good grace to let them know.
